Suppose that you, without geed and suffi

FELLOW Philadelphians, professional baseball li a business. It can
be built up precisely as is the organization tchich catrrt te the
buyers of merchandise the department store, tee'll say. But th
eicners and president must employ a manager tche knows the game,
stands head and shoulders above the players and has their respect.
This director of play must have a sizable budget, complete control of
all sales, trades and purchases and an ironclad contract tchich pro
vides him with a reasonable period of years in tchich te restore a
business thct has gene te the bnic-weies because of 4 meddlesome
president. Think it ever.'
Amateurs Assume Control of Trapshooting
F' CHICAGO this week there was a conference of spertHmen from North,
East, Seuth, West and Pacific Coast which was of vital importance te the
thousands of men who sheet at clay targets. It resulted In one of the most
drabtlc steps, ever taken in the sports world the complete change In control of
an organization that has enjoyed mere than thirty years' successful life.
The Amcrlcnn Trapshooting Association, which governs the clay target
Tipert throughout the United States and Canada, with .'1000 clubs and Beveral
1 hundred thousand fchoeters under Its jurisdiction, paved the way for a com-
' plete hcverancc of direction by manufacturers. Trap'-hooters, of whom there
arc many in Philadelphia, will appreciate the importance of this step, long
discussed but previously deemed either impossible or inadvisable.
Mere than thirty years age manufacturers of arras, ammunition, etc.,
formed a national organization for the mutual promotion of trapshooting. This
Is net an unusual thing, for nearly nil amateur sports have been aided and
guided by Interested manufacturers in building up a national body for the
preparation of universal rules nnd regulations te govern competition. How
ever, for twenty -peven years the manufacturers cracked a harmless whip ever
claj -target shooters, net because they wanted this control, but because the
amateurs would net display the escntlnl Interest In the government of
their game.
THREE years age the amateurs were given oemplete control of the
rule-making and governmental functions of the A. T. A. They
contributed financially teicard the furtherance of the sport through
the annual dues and registered tournament fees paid by them. They
reached the point where they believed they could stand alone, and in
Chicago advised the manufacturers' representatives that they would
take ever complete control of trapshooting,
Amateur Trapshoeters Are the Officers
AT THE present time manufacturers' representatives or men employed by
them are the officers and directors of the A. T. A., which Is an Incor
porated body Already amateurs have been elected te the chief offices, as
follews: President, V. D. Steep, Spokane, Wnh. ; first vice president. O S.
XlcCarty, Newfield, NT. J ; eerend vice president, U. R. Brooks, Columbia,
B. O. ; third vice president, F. It Etchen, Coffeyville, Kan.; fourth vice
president, Sam 8. Fester, Masen City, la. ; treasurer, Walter Peacock,
Chicago. Starr Matthews was named secretary he has been en the national
headquarters staff for three years
Certuin legal steps wll be necessary before the amateur officers may 'i9
lume complete control of trapshooting affairs, but It is probable that these
can be brought te a satisfactory conclusion within two months. Then the
national headquarters of the A. T. A. will be moved from New Yerk te CM
eage and the amateurs will hnve their chance an opportunity they hav
eagerly sought In reeent months.
The manufacturers' representatives have agreed te continue te lend
financial support te the nmuteurized organization, and they will name a com
mittee te advise with the amateur officers. But in no way will the retiring
directors and officers pniticlpatu In the management of traphoeting or In
the preparation of thi rj!' anil regulations. It has become an amateur sport,
body and soul.
J1TILL the amateurs display the interest tchlah is essential te th
Yf success of iv uperf organization? Will theti de the icerk and
shoulder the responsibilities suffer the sometimes vitnolie crttfi-m,
as did the manufacturers and thtir paid representatives t We hope
they mill, but time alone tall tell.
California Objects te Football Ranking
FDUIt Californians, members of the alumni of the college thut Iiih an un
defeated football eleven coached by our old friend Andy Smith object
most strenuously te any ranking that places their Pnciilc Coast champions In
fourth position In ft letter signed by II. McAllister Griffiths, Frank W.
Brlttaln. ,T (J. Bensen and Earl Herkeliy it Is pointed out that:
"California alurnni in Philadelphia who have watched the Rnme played
fn the East this tall (and they mention virtunlly all the lending eleven! would
put all the money they could beg, borrow or steal thnt California would net
have much difficulty in putting ou at least two touchdowns un Cernell or
Princeton."
Then they go en te tell us that neither the Tigers nor the Ithncnns have
lines that compare with California's; that Smith's squad has eight backs
"equally geed who can be put in nt will," net te mention two punters who
can overage consistent fiO jnrds, and Mueller, who can pa's the ball 00 yards.
Friends from geed old fnlifernia. we admire your spirit. If jeu did net
telleve that the fine California machine could lick any ether football eleven
thnt ever laced up cleated footgear we would be ternblj disappointed. But
hew In the world will we settle our argument? Ne doubt football writers In
your State are telling the world that Cnllforeln is far and away supreme in
football that is, in a mythical championship sense, which Is natural and
proper.
New plen.se permit Eastern writers te have their fun nnd stand up for
their sector. Perhaps we should hnve left California out of our ranking.
However, we considered it n duty te mention among the crock elevens of the
season the one coached by the mnn whom we like and admire, the former
Pennsylvania star, Andy Smith. At the snme time, we could net conscien
tiously give Cnlifernln the preference ever Princeton, Cernell nnd Iowa.
It happens, however, that we are net entirely without knowledge of Pacific
Const football, since we watched n number of big games out that way two
years nge. We respect the fight, the skill and the mental alertness of the
young men coached by Andy.
BUT if Princeton met California tomorrow our puny ttaeh would
go down en Bill Reper's Tigers. It miaht be a hunrh; tee cer
tainly don't knew enough about Smith's 1022 team te bet en form.

Boxing In France Will Survive Scandal
THE Slkl-Curpcnticr scandal Is threatening the popularity of boxing in Franca
nnd the game undoubtedly will suffer because of the alleged frame-up.
It is being said in some quarters that the muddle will kill boxing abroad, but
this Is net likely. The game is bigger than Carpentler nnd Sikl and will surrlri
anv disgrace chnrged te either the present or past champion.
The rtntement of M. Henri Bernstein, the referee, who, in New Yerk, ii
plain Harry Bernstein, proves nothing. Bernstein states that he heard Slkl say
te Cnrpentler: "Don't hit at my stomach; you hurt me." These words ceuli
hnve been nart of Siki's repartee.
If the French Boxing Federation finds the boxers guilty of a frame-up both
should be barred from the ring.
Frnme-ups In the past have been frequent. Boxing needs control by h6nst
.officials fnr mere than it needs nny one of the present participants.
